Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses to support instructions for a hardware assisted heterogeneous instruction set architecture dispatcher are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a plurality of processor cores comprising a first type of processor core that supports a first instruction set architecture and a second type of processor core that supports a second different instruction set architecture, a decoder circuit of a processor core of the plurality of processor cores to decode a single instruction into a decoded single instruction, the single instruction including a field that identifies a requested core type and an opcode that indicates an execution circuit of the processor core is to: read a register to determine a core type of the processor core, cause the processor core to enter a first mode, that only permits execution of the first instruction set architecture by the processor core, when the requested core type and the core type of the processor core are the first type, cause the processor core to enter a second mode, that only permits execution of the second different instruction set architecture by the processor core, when the requested core type and the core type of the processor core are the second type, cause the processor core to enter a third mode, that only permits execution of the first instruction set architecture by the processor core, when the requested core type is the second type and the core type of the processor core is the first type, and cause the processor core to enter a fourth mode, that only permits execution of the second different instruction set architecture by the processor core, when the requested core type is the first type and the core type of the processor core is the second type, and the execution circuit of the processor core to execute the decoded single instruction according to the opcode.

Abstract: A data processing system comprises a hybrid processor comprising a big TPU and a small TPU. At least one of the TPUs comprises an LP of a processing core that supports SMT. The hybrid processor further comprises hardware feedback circuitry. A machine-readable medium in the data processing system comprises instructions which, when executed, enable an OS in the data processing system to collect (a) processor topology data from the hybrid processor and (b) hardware feedback for at least one of the TPUs from the hardware feedback circuitry. The instructions also enable the OS to respond to a determination that a thread is ready to be scheduled by utilizing (a) an OP setting for the ready thread, (b) the processor topology data, and (c) the hardware feedback to make a scheduling determination for the ready thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for managing performance states of processing circuitry of a computing device are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, at least one processing circuitry, and logic, at least a portion of comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one processing circuitry, to set a first performance state (P-state) of the at least one processing circuitry based on system utilization information, access a performance interface element comprising a plurality of performance metric hints, update the first P-state to a second P-state responsive to one of the plurality of performance metric hints being set by an operating system (OS) of the apparatus, and maintain the first P-state responsive to none of the plurality of performance metric hints being set by the operating system (OS). Other embodiments are described and claimed.
